Reformation Commentary on Scripture (23 Vols.)
The Reformation Commentary on Scripture (RCS) series brings together rich, exegetical reflections on the Bible from Protestant Reformers. The RCS has four goals: the enrichment of contemporary Biblical interpretation through exposure to Reformation-era Biblical exegesis; the renewal of contemporary preaching through exposure to the Biblical insights of the Reformation writers; a deeper understanding of the Reformation itself and the breadth of perspectives represented within it; and a recovery of the profound integration of the life of faith and the life of the mind that should characterize Christian scholarship.
This series is thoughtfully designed to facilitate rich research for scholars, pastors, and teachers.

Overview
Review
“Like the Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture, the Reformation Commentary on Scripture does a masterful job of offering excellent selections from well-known and not-so-well-known exegetes. The editor's introductory survey is, by itself, worth the price of the book. It is easy to forget that there were more hands, hearts and minds involved in the Reformation than Luther and Calvin. Furthermore, encounters even with these figures are often limited to familiar quotes on familiar topics. However, the Reformation Commentary helps us to recognize the breadth and depth of exegetical interests and skill that fueled and continue to fuel faithful meditation on God's Word. I heartily recommend this series as a tremendous resource not only for ministry but for personal edification.”
